A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress in Ondo State, Adeyeri Stephen has warned politicians in the state to refrain from bitter diatribe capable of causing disaffection between Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu and his Deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

Adeyeri said in lieu of fanning the embers hatred, politicians should harmoniously ensure cohesion in order not to retard the development of the Sunshine State, noting that some politicians are bent on disrupting polity in the state.

The APC Chieftain stated this in a statement he personally signed and issued to newsmen on Tuesday in Akure, the State capital.

Adeyeri who was reacting to a viral news suggesting that the relationship between the Governor and his Deputy have become strained, urged the people of the state to shun rumours which he described as “grapevine”.

He said, “I would like to clarify that the rumors circulating regarding the relationship between Governor Akeredolu and his Deputy Aiyedatiwa are entirely false and baseless.”

“Both individuals maintain a professional and healthy working relationship, focused on serving the best interests of the people of our state. Any claims suggesting otherwise are mere speculation and should not be taken seriously.”

“Some vested interests and politicians are needlessly causing disaffection, stoking hatred because of abysmal reasons best known to them. Governor Akeredolu is a man of peace who represents the true Omoluabi, while Aiyedatiwa is also a gentle man with calm spirit.”

“The Akeredolu led-administration remains committed to the well-being and progress of our state, and we encourage responsible reporting and fact-checking in all matters.”

There's already disaffection between them thanks to the greedy ungrateful Deputy Governor 😕🤨
